The SN-11 SpaceX Starship prototype is prepping for a Friday launch. The SN10 was able complete its 10-kilometer flight and returned and landed. However, the SN10 landing was too hard and it resulted in an explosion a few minutes later. I think SpaceX will make the adjustments and fixes for a safe SN-11 landing.
The SpaceX BN1 Super Heavy has been stacked. BN1 will not be flown. It will be used for ground tests.
